The Monaco Grand Prix may not have been an in-your-face thriller, but I don't buy Fernando Alonso's and Lewis Hamilton's assessment that it was probably the most "boring" race of all time.

Daniel Ricciardo's performance as he brilliantly battled a car that was 161bhp down on his pursuers - especially after the 2016 victory at Monaco was so cruelly snatched from him - was edge of the seat stuff.

It seemed almost impossible that he would to be able to manage the speed, the tyres and the rising brake temperatures - all the while knowing that he had Sebastian Vettel in close pursuit.
